Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Persian version of the brief emotion dysregulation scale (BEDS) for the general population of Iran.
Methods The study included 814 participants with a mean age of 35.83±12.8 years. They completed the Persian versions of BEDS, the borderline personality questionnaire (BPQ), 16-item difficulties in emotion regulation scale (DERS-16), and the Rosenberg self-esteem scale (RSES) online. For construct validity assessment, the participants were randomly divided into two groups: Exploratory factor analysis was performed on the first group, and confirmatory factor analysis was conducted on the second group.
Results The factor loadings of all items exceeded 0.32, indicating that the observed variables were appropriate for measuring the latent underlying variable. The internal consistency (Cronbach’s α) was 0.75 for the overall scale, 0.77 for the consequences, 0.68 for the sensitivity, and 0.51 for the instability domains. The Persian BEDS’s total scores had significant positive relationships with the DERS-16 (r=0.754) and BPQ (r=0.628) scores, and a significant negative relationships with the RSES score (r=0.534).
Conclusion The Persian BEDS with three subscales (emotional sensitivity, emotional instability, and emotional consequences) has acceptable construct validity, convergent validity, and discriminant validity. Therefore, as a psychometrically valid and efficient screening instrument, it can be used for both clinical and research purposes in Iran.
